Publisher's Synopsis
Bible Societies and the Baptists is a historical account of the relationship between Baptist churches and Bible societies in the 19th century. Written by Charles Carroll Bitting and originally published in 1883, the book explores the origins of Bible societies and their role in spreading Christianity around the world. Bitting examines the Baptist perspective on Bible distribution and the controversies that arose between Baptist leaders and Bible society officials over issues such as translation accuracy and the distribution of non-Baptist materials. The book also provides a detailed history of the American Bible Society and its relationship with Baptist churches. Bible Societies and the Baptists is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Baptist history, religious studies, and the history of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
